Well talking to Kevin at M2K, it does look like those intercoolers will be a restriction so looking at going BIGGER.
Little disappointed that AutoRAD knew the power goals with the car and said no problem only to give a setup that looks like it'll support about 850hp at the flywheel (625cfm/ea). This was the biggest they could run and keep the stock hood brace, but the stock hood brace doesn't fit with these either.
I understand typically the people that they're building a setup like this for are "1000hp" but never push the car much, and I cant fault them for that.
M2K is going to be upgrading the cores from 7" x 11" x 3" (625cfm rated) to 10" x 15" x 3.5" (945cfm/ea) and may try to push it a little bigger if we can. And build a hood support and latch to work off the intercoolers since they're rigidly mounted.
New sized intercoolers should have me efficiently covered up to around 1300hp at the flywheel which is right in line with what I'm hoping it will make!
Does anyone have any advice or leads on what to use for a hood latch? I like the ones I'm seeing posted on Lou's Change and Stielow's cars but cant find much detail on the latch itself and how they made it work. I saw one that was on screaming performance
but it appears they're out of stock...
Any help there?
